My brother had his run over multiple times, i told him to do something similar but he is too much of a pansyTrue....because whoever owns mine ran over the damn thing about two months ago and destroyed it. And I guess because they own it, they just left the splinters for me to deal with. But I did them a favor and sank a steel pole in concrete so the next time they feel like exploding it I'll actually save them a little money, lol.
